                                                                   Birds Journeys
                                                            
        The wish that shows birds to begin their journeys, and the highly exact feeling of direction shown by
traveling birds, stay among the most puzzling mysteries of science. The Arctic tern and the golden plover are
two examples of these unusual birds.
        In the north during the springtime, traveling birds return to the Arctic (北極) from southern areas.
The longest journey is made by the unbelievable Arctic tern. This amazing bird is no larger than a crow (a
kind of bird) , but its body surface (outside) is more updated. The tern is called the long-distance champion
of the bird world, often traveling 23,000 miles a year between West Africa and the Arctic. Such journeys
take weeks, with stops for food and rest.
                                                        
        There are no rests, however, for the golden plover, a non-stop flyer among Arctic birds. The plover's
journey is like that of a land plane over water, since the plover cannot land on the water to rest. Without
stopping, the golden plover flies 2,000 miles from Hawaii to Alaska or from South America to Nova Scotia
and northern Canada. This little bird (only eleven inches) is fat and strong when traveling north, but is thin
and weak when it arrives after fighting ocean winds for sixty or more hours.
1. Look at the first paragraph. What does the underlined word "mysteries"mean?
[     ]
A. 秘密
B. 神秘
C. 機密
D. 隱秘
2. What do the tern and the plover have in common?
[     ]
A. Their bodies are updated.
B. Their bodies are fat and strong.
C. They travel great distances.
D. They travel the same amount of time.
3. From the second paragraph, we get to know that the tern _______.
[     ]
A. is as big as a crow
B. is an Arctic bird
C. travels a long distance
D. travels to another land
4. After traveling north, why does the golden plover become thin?
[     ]
A. It stops once for food.
B. It can fly better and faster.
C. It is no bigger than a crow.
D. It has to fly against the ocean wind.

　　Wives, children and parents left behind in the countryside by migrant workers need special assistance, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference said yesterday．

　　Adult males moving to work in cities, is causing a challenge to the traditional function of bringing up children and supporting the elderly, said Shen Shuji, who is also an official with the All-China Women’s Federation．

　　Shen recommended certain measures, including a special policy to guarantee educational opportunities for such children, accelerating(加速)the establishment of pension(養(yǎng)老金)and medical care systems in rural areas, and encouraging enterprises and non-governmental organizations to help such families．

　　The rights and welfare of migrant workers themselves have called much attention in recent years．The government has made policies to protect their rights．

　　The number of children aged between 6 and 16 in this situation is more than 20 million nationwide, accounting for more than half of the country’s total．Some of the children have both their parents in cities and have to be taken care of by grandparents or other family relatives．

　　Without enough care from parents, many of them become problem children, Shen said．Wives left at home by their husband have to face hard work, loneliness and a lack of a sense of security．In many cases long-term separation ends up with divorce．

　　There is still no pension system in China’s countryside．Traditionally, the elderly in rural areas are supported by their children with low incomes．

　　But the exodus of their children has left many old people in a difficult situation．They have to continue to work in farms while taking care of their grandchildren, Shen said．

　　The country should gradually scrap(消除)the decades-old bi-polar system separating rural and urban areas, which prevent farmers from enjoying the equal rights．
